Joe Scarborough says he won't vote for Trump unless he rescinds extreme views
The Week ^ | 05/05/2016 | The Week

MSNBC's Morning Joe host Joe Scarborough has been accused -- often quite convincingly -- of being in the tank for Donald Trump. But the former Republican congressman said Thursday that unless Trump curbs his extreme views, he will not have Scarborough's vote.

Scarborough said Trump comes up short "on Latinos, women, on so many other things ... The convention offers him an opportunity -- will be the first time a lot of Americans have really looked at Donald Trump the candidate. We see this all the time. The vice presidential selection offers him an opportunity."

Scarborough also pointed out that Trump will need to start cutting back on his extreme rhetoric sooner rather than later. "I'm never going to vote for a guy who says they are going to ban somebody because of the god they worship. And he's got to have to make that turn fast. He didn't do it yesterday. Maybe he does it over the next couple of weeks," Scarborough said.

Many Republicans have said this week that they will not vote for Donald Trump, despite him being the presumptive nominee.

At least Scarborough no longer infests Congress as thephony he always was. In a stunning example of sending coal to Newcastle or, ummm, oranges to California, Scarborough has moved from the Florida Panhandle to the Connecticut Gold Coast.

And don't forget their recent charming little habit of actually crucifying children who refuse to apostasize to Islam. A new low even for the Islamofascists. You have to wonder what they plan as their next festival of unprecedented evil. "Religion of peace," my ass!

Who’s to say Trump doesn’t regard Joe’s views as extreme?
